In order to pay off her family debts, Katherine Beckett volunteers to work at the royal castle. However, she gets more than she bargained for when she meets the prince. AU Thanks to Emma for the awesome cover art.

AU. On January 9th, 1999, Castle saves Johanna Beckett from being murdered. His act of bravery sparks a complicated love with her daughter, and a totally different life and career path for Kate Beckett. Because although Johanna lived, someone out there still wants her dead, and as the years go by, Kate Beckett and Richard Castle are determined to find out who.

'He hadn't come expecting to find anyone interesting, he never does when he ends up in one of these clubs, but the requirement of masks, the promise of unknown identities and costumed anonymity for a night had appealed to him.' An AU meeting on Halloween night. Entry for the #CastleHalloweenBash.

AU: Beckett is a uniform on the Vice squad at the 12th, five years before she and Castle actually meet in the show. Based on an idea of Cartographical - chezchuckles and I just liked it so much that we each wrote our own. Variations on the same theme, sort of.

AU: Beckett is a uniform on the Vice squad at the 12th. It's five years before the season one meeting. Cartographical sent me and Sandiane Carter a list of AUs she wanted to see. We were both so excited about Vice Beckett that we each wrote our own. This is mine. Thanks to garnetgivealittlelove for the cover art.

Sparks fly and unexpected fires start when an undercover cop and a researching novelist spy each other from across the room. AU. One-shot. Please don't be put off by the rating; it's tasteful... enough.

AU. What happens when two people, who are perfect for each other, meet in exactly the right place at the completely wrong time? For literature professor Katherine Beckett and writer Richard Castle, only time will tell. COMPLETE.

What if Castle had met Beckett at college? Would they have still wasted so much time dancing around each other? Think 'Veronica Mars' style crime fighting. Think Caskett. Think love and friendship and drama and life.

AU: carolina17 had this idea: What if Kate's mother was never murdered but her father was instead? This Kate Beckett never went to the police academy, grew up under the shadow of her mother's ambition, and has her own wall to deal with. COMPLETE

"She had told him that wall was there, and he had promised that they would figure it out and that it wouldn't always be there; she had never said she wouldn't help him break it down". Kate finds a way to give back. Lots o'fluff.
